Listening for pulse of community
• Lurkers• Use search and other tools to listen for
positive and negative conversations• Promote Social Media with SHARING on
Web-Sites and E-Mail messages
Various Platforms
–LinkedIn–Facebook–Twitter–You Tube–RSS–Blogs
• So much going on out of sight!• Need to pick your strategy• Be prepared to alter course• Once you have committed there is no
stopping
Social Media Iceberg
• Originally a place to post resumes and look for work. Now a popular B2B or Professional Social Network
• Single profile• Business Networking• Company pages• LinkedIn Groups
–Discussions• LinkedIn® Answers
My LinkedIn Profile• Must be invited to join someone’s network
and are only supposed to invite people you know (if you know e-mail)
• May ask others for introduction• Some people have profiles but do not
accept invitations???• Publications ETC• Links
Company Page
• A Place to Promote Company • Upload Products • Make Announcements• Publicize Events• Others can follow
• Many changes and updates. Hard to keep up.
• More conversational and less management than Web Site
• How to manage different profiles• Personal Profiles
– Limited to 5,000 friends– Personal– Should not conduct business– Small print may find your page gone
Personal Profiles cont’d• May want multiple profiles?
– Personal– Professional
• News feed delivered by FB to your wall• Others can post or write on your wall• Direct messages • Pokes• “PAGES” and “GROUPS”
Company Pages
Company Pages• Business Focused or Not For Profit• Create “Welcome” page so 1st time visitors
do not land directly on wall using FBML• Ideally less about you more about what
the readers or FANS would like to see• Find good content and share with
questions or comments• Goal 25 Likes to customize Page URL• Real traction starts at 500-1,000 Likes
Pages Cont’d• PEOPLE can Like not PAGES• Use FB as Page to post to wall and others
Need to post as Page to have Impressions• People and Pages who “Like” can post on
CO Wall if settings permit– Admin can remove inappropriate posts
• Aim to be “REMARKABLE”• Impressions and Insights
Insights
Impressions
• Similar context to advertizing.– Impression = viewing– Higher comment and LIKE should produce more
impressions– FB will suggest to others they think may be interested
• The Life of a post does last!– Can be shared and then show on other walls
• Resides on Company Wall
Group Pages• Groups different from Pages• For Not 4 Profits, Clubs or Orgs.• NKBA WNY• NFCC• Great way to have open conversations
and community input
Insights to Goals
• Likes or Fans good for organic growth can this correlate to business growth?
• Active users Monthly, Weekly, Daily• Interactions• Comments• Link back to Web Site measure with
Google Analytics (Referring Site)• Share and comments are gifts
Twitter• Profiles (“@” Handles)
– Personal– Professional
• Not required to follow all who follow
– Company• Department or Job Specific• Some companies have unique handle for each
person• Etiquette to follow all who follow
• @BestBuy many respond to question
Twitter Cont’d• Half life of Tweet about 90 seconds
– Those who are communicating will see and it will be stored in your timeline
• No such thing as butting in on Twitter• Need to listen and look for opportunities to
contribute• Twitter ideal way to publicize Blog• It is okay to repeat yourself
Twitter Jargon• Tweet• Retweet• #Hashtags• Searches Saved• #FF• Tweetups• Many Texting Acronyms used
